The Pola Museum of Art opened in September 2002 in Sengokuhara, Hakone, amid the abundant nature of Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, with the concept of “symbiosis between Hakone’s natural beauty and works of art.” The Pola Museum of Art’s diverse collection contains around 10,000 items, including Western painting, modern Japanese Western-style painting, contemporary nihonga (Japanese-style painting), prints, sculpture, Oriental ceramics, modern and contemporary Japanese ceramics, glasswork, and cosmetic utensils.
